Exclusive College Recruiting Program Michael is a 2023 catching prospect out of the Massachusetts area with a solid defensive profile and potential with his bat. Behind the plate he works comfortably from a one-knee down set up with good hip mobility to be a solid receiver with soft hands and a feel for moving the baseball on borderline pitches. From a traditional set up he shows agility and quickness in his blocking and his arm has a quick transfer with online carry and accuracy to his throws to 2b. His pop time is consistently in the low 2.0 range and his defensive profile can stick behind the plate. Offensively, he uses a compact RH swing with a quick barrel and a feel for hard contact. His approach is geared towards contact and using the middle of the field, but with enough power to pull a ball with authority. Overall, he profiles as a solid defensive catcher who can add length to a college lineup at a premium defensive position.
